What is the Oregon Vehicle Code?

Behind the laws, regulations, and enforcement of Oregon's streets, roads, and freeways, is a legal framework called the vehicle code. The Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division (DMV) periodically compiles it into a book known as the vehicle code.

In addition to ensuring the safety of both motorists and others, including cyclists and pedestrians, the Oregon vehicle code can serve to clarify questions that are bound to come up about vehicles and driving.

If you've recently received a traffic ticket, you may find it beneficial to look through to motor vehicle code to determine whether or not you'll be able to contest the citation.

If you have specific questions regarding your driver's license or vehicle registration, you should contact the Oregon DMV directly. If you are looking for legal advice or assistance, you should consider contacting a lawyer.

Check Your OR Driver's License Status

Whenever you need or want to check the status of your Oregon driver’s license, you can order a driving record report. This record will spell out if your driver’s license is currently valid. Should your driver's license have been revoked or suspended, the report will indicate that according to what the Oregon DMV has on record. This report will also show points against your driver's license and, in some cases, information on any accidents you have had.

Points on your driving record can not only lead to suspensions, but they can also cause Oregon DMV fines, driving restrictions, and higher insurance rates. If you want to shop around for a new car insurance policy, you can begin with our car insurance center.
